When they were departed, Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream saying,. "Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt, and abide there till I bring thee word: For Herod will seek the child to destroy him."

Into whatsoever city, or town ye shall come, enquire who is worthy in it, and there abide till ye go thence.

Heaven and earth shall perish: but my words shall abide.

And he left them, and went out of the city unto Bethany, and had his abiding there.
